I've been getting a slew of videos recced to me about "not spending money for 30 days" from people who are so obviously well off and it just gives me the ick. Yes hyper-consumerism is something that people can easily fall into but I'd rather see content about buying food on a budget than a desperately privileged instagram girlies "giving up" money for a month.

These type of videos are giving me massive thrift haul vibes, which is a whole other beast in and of itself. But the idea acting like poor people to make it cute and consumable content just makes me want to barf.
